 Sharp posts -- both of them. I've lived in 6 different states (3 of them in NE) and my shower didn't smell of sulfur or really any different than anywhere else when I lived in Saratoga Springs. You might want to get out more.

dago came from 'diego' and originally was directed towards spaniards. it somehow started getting said towards italians, and well....you know the rest. sometimes people also use the slur of 'guido'. as for wop: One famous false etymology is that it stands for "without papers" or "without passport" (abbreviated WOP),[1] widely known to be a fantasy derivation by acronym.[2] According to Merriam-Webster its first known use was in 1908.[3] The commonly accepted etymology is that it originates from a southern Italian dialect term guappo, meaning swagger, derived from the Spanish term guapo, via dialectical French, meaning ruffian or pimp.
